From 9AM to 11AM motion was nearly due E which was slightly N of forecast. Milton is already getting close to Cat 5 levels. Getting Wilma vibes from this with the tiny eye and rapid intensification. So far is the wind field reminds small, hurricane force out to 30 miles and tropical storm out 80 miles from the center, can only hope it stays this way unlike Wilma which expanded and had a 60 mile wide eye at landfall that created tons of wind damage from N Lake Okeechobee all the way thru Miami.
OMG... Last advisory blew through 5 threshold: 175 mph sustained, central pressure 911 mb.
Noticed a more easterly track with a recent jog ENE. Here on the east coast 35 miles north of the Cape, my preperations are for 80 mph sustained, gusts approaching 100 mph and an additional 5-8" of rain. Godspeed for everyone on the west Florida coast in ground zero or within 50 miles south of landfall.
